“It was seven years since my last album, and I am thrilled at the response to Songs To Play,” says Forster. “And so this tour will be my first shows with a band in the UK for eight years. It’s a long time and we can’t wait to play. Expect fireworks, recent and old songs, and one or two new dance moves.”

The full list of shows is:

MAY 28: Whelans, Dublin
MAY 29: King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow
MAY 31: Deaf Institute, Manchester
JUNE 1: Islington Assembly Hall, London
